I am much more into classical music than as a kid (and I would guess this is normal). Funny, most of us were really introduced to classical music through cartoons. I love parts of Carmen because it was used in the original Bad News Bears movie (because it was royalty-free, LOL).
Back in the 80s I was home one day, Tigers were supposed to be on but it rained out and it was just a lousy day, so clicking around I stopped on the movie Amadeus. Never had much appeal to me, but had nothing else to do. Within 15 minutes I was glued to it, knowing virtually nothing about classical music or Mozart, The movie (and play) is brilliant and F. Murray Abraham deserved his Oscar. Funny that the guy who played Pinto in Animal House played Mozart, but according to the movie (and many biographies) Pinto was far more mature than Mozart was. Tom Hulce was great too and probably finished second to Abraham at the Oscars. Started developing a whole new appreciation for the music after this movie. The only unfortunate thing is that it really does unfairly smear Salieri, who had nothin to really do with Mozart's death. Wolfie exhausted himself with work, partying and drugs/drink. Like a true rock star would. I love this scene and how Salieri finally gets it, how his jealousy finally goes away and he can appreciate the genius of it. I love that someone put the scene to sheet music. Mozart unknowingly writing his own Requiem. I watched this movie a couple times when I had Covid recently. Kind of forgot how brilliant it was.
